Custom 3'' single exit; 1-2-1. With high flow cat, vibrant race resonator and a valved muffler.
I'm reusing the dummy switch in the lower part of the console to open/close/auto the exhaust valve.

I wont go dual for 2 reasons :
- I want to keep the wagon storage
- I dont want to relocate the evap canister. the new rear subframe is installed anyway already.
- single exit sound way better


and +1, mustafa setup is insanely good looking. I wont do that unfortunately, but I will detail the engine bay.

new to these but I think it looks like the BMP manifold.

[Mustafa.e92]

The speed tech kit comes with a 2 piece down pipe. The bottom pipe is split into the 2 piece flange. Stock exhuast under wise with secondary’s deleted. Will be going single exit soon enough it’s always been on the bucket list of things to get done.
Yes it is a bmp forward facing manifold.
The docrace manifolds had clearance issues with the ofhg and is over priced so I settled for this one. Docrace has the best looking manifold in my opinion

[SlowE92]

I ordered the Speedtech 6466 kit and the BMP red manifold (stock location one) for the aesthetic of it given my red intake and red silicone vacuum lines. Thank you everyone here for the help. I had bought a B6 S4 as a project car earlier this year and sold it to fund this project so wish me luck.

nice.

The manifold seal come with the kit, no need to buy.
On the list I made, you want to add stainless steel tyewrap for the heat wrap.


Wow you dont miss anything with the B6 S4, those engine are heavy, prone to understeer and not enough torque at low RPM for a v8. What year ? chain or belt V8 ? chain are expensive to maintain.

A b5 S4 is more fun, but imo, the 2.7tt is way worst than and bad maintained N54.

I did a excel sheet, with prices, links and pros n cons for my project :

- e91 N54 ST swap
or
- Audi A4 Avant 2.7tt k04 swap.

BMW wins, for few reason : more modern with CIC and comfort access, more power for the money, xdelete possible, way more part, way more support and way more DIY friendly.

I still own my Avant with a stage 2 2.0t, and its faster than a b6/b7 s4.

Sorry not the exhaust manifold, I bought the BMP red intake manifold. I have port injection but just the plate with the stock manifold and am going to get rid of the black waffle. And it was an 05 sedan. The only thing it had was a slight coolant leak and the control arm was slightly bent due to a curb. Swapped out the control arm but didn't fix the coolant leak, didn't have the car long enough to fix it

I was referring to exhaust manifold from the speedtech. It's not mentioned on their website, and a saw a thread that a guy need to buy the 6 exhaust seals.

However, turns out now speedtech include them in their kit. I bought a set for nothing.

Hey I’m looking to get a speedtech n54 top mount kit on a budget I’m having trouble on deciding which turbo to go with it’s either precision 6266 or pulsar 6266bb only thing is the pulsar has a manufacture delay and I don’t know when it will arrive let me hear yall thoughts on what to go with thanks much appreciated 🙏

My first choice was precision 6266, but the pulsar got very good review and was way cheaper, iirc it was 300-400$ usd cheaper?

I went with the 6262bb gen 2 pulsar. It has coolant line connections (i dont think precision got it).

So far so good, but I did not put ton of mileage, its my fun car, I have 5 , so I run it not that often.

Keep in mind the kit alone cost me 6k$ cad , shipped in Ontario. (options : turbo blanket and filter)
And it's not 100% complete ; mac, heat management, sealant, teflon, ss tye wrap and probably a couple of other small stuff = +/- 150$

Then all supportive mods ; ic, tune, charge pipe, bov, cc, exhaust, pcv, meth/port/di, etc ... Its endless.

I saw a post on an other group this week, a guy asked what would be the cost of a ST from stock, people were like : around 2-3K$. lollll until someone was like. Guys ! a ST conversion is relative, but depending on how many diy, expect 8k$

I've wondered about th pulsar; I'm really interested in a g35-1050 type turbo but I didn't see a pulsa equivilent on the speedtech site, do they offer one?

pulsar has the equivalent, the 68mm series. They do 'copies' from most major brand.

I can assume speedtech can order what they want from pulsar. They probably wont be able to guarantee the fitment tho. Email them

My 6262 is pretty close to everything.

It looks like i found out the 6862G is the equivilent of the g35-1050, which is what i was looking to move to at some point...

[1faste92]

I went with the 6466 pulsar turbo over the 6266, with speedtech kit cost over 6k without shipping or tax its going to arrive this Monday looking forward to get it on and dialed!!

[1faste92]

Also got t51R mod

[oVeRdOsE.]

they've increased their price? or the 6466 is wayyy more expensive. exchange rate I guess !

Paid 6k$ cad for pulsar 6262 with shipping and taxes (shipped in Ontario) including a filter & blanket. Like 5 months ago.

no t51r and no ceramic coating.

EDIT looked at my bill, september 2023 1.34$ exchange : kit was 4000$usd +300usd ship (5770$cad) + 404$ import fees = 6180$ cad

[1faste92]

Payed around 6.4 just for kit with Ceramic and t51r, how much did customs charge you?

[oVeRdOsE.]

oh then not bad, but definitively increased.

404$ customs . I had to make speedtech to fill a form. 6180$ was my total to the door.

they dont want to reduce the declared price, but it was way lower than anticipated.


To complete the price you'll need : copper rtv, heat wrap silicon sealant, tywrap, exhaust seal, mac solenoid, vacuum hoses, wiring, valve cover protection (I modified the OEM), heat wrap for existing wiring and pipes. And probably few other item. Not that expensive.

You might want to get a N57 air duct to cool down the turbo area. This was 100$.
Stage 2 LPFP, around 150$ on a DIY
EKP cooling , cheap on DIY

starting to be expensive when you go on upgrade suspension and bushing, clutch (if manual), full exhaust for that sweet L6 ST sound, fueling (port) or meth, injectors, valve cover, etc

[1faste92]

Yeah I don’t think they do that anymore I also tried plus if u declare it lower u will only get that much if ur package gets lost.

True it gets expensive fast it all adds up very quick at this point the kit was the cheapest Loll, spending around 5-6k on maintenance for now and I’ve still gotta spend couple grand for reflex/gfb stuff like that , it slipped my mind to plug ports when changing vc so once all gaskets n rear main seal(etc) and kits on I’m jus going to leave it like this for now on lower boost then upgrade before next season to pi,intake manifold,plug ports and clutch plus if I need anything else which I probably will it never stops lmfao

[oVeRdOsE.]

this is a money pit.

The moment you put a brand new turbo kit, you don't want to leave the car, so you add mods and mods and maintenance and mods.

If I look back, depending of the car you have, you won't have much more on the market for the price, HP wise.

In my case , I have a E91 ;

- space for the kids
- power (+/- 600bhp)
- did all big n54 maintenace stuff to be reliable-ishhhh
- 6mt for more fun
- handling
- awd winter
- most modern options : comfort, individual, nav, sport pack.

so yeah, Ive dumped all the mod I wanted day one. and Im not done.

I dont regret it, because even at 20K$ (with the car included), nothing can beat this package at this price.

(how to convince myself this is a good idea )

my brain.

This year this will do it, I need to slow down on this car, I did the ''big'' stuff day 1, but easy stuff next year.


Right now JB4 (last gen)+MHD, on custom map8 + meth 600cc.

I log, I check and send it to BMS, I change values then I add boost.

According to spooltreet, I should be around 560-600bhp.

Next year dyno tuning.

[1faste92]

Hey my kit has arrived any suggestions on what to use gfb or motive reflex??
